The Same Old Story.

New York World.
1t is estimated at the Treasury De-
partment that " the debt decrease for
April amounts to $12,5OO,OOO."
This is, of course, a mere fiction of
bookkeeping. Neither bonds nor
greenbacks to this amount were paid
during the month just closed.
What 1t meant is that the cash
available for debt reduction
increased sl2,5OO,OOO in that
time. This is an old story. And it
promises to be continued for the next
twelve months unless Congress shall
be assembled in special session mean
while and put a stop to the accumu-
lation by reducing the taxes.
Secretary Fairchild's determination
to suspend the calls for the remain
ing $l9,000,000 Of outstanding 3 per
cents, until after the close of the
fiscal year, does not in the least
help the situation. 1t simply COM
pels the people to pay interest on
this amount for three months longer,
when there is more than available
money enough in the Treasury to
pay the bonds now and has been for
tbn noCt civ months
In no other country in the world
would the Government dare to un-
dertake, or be permitted to carry out,
the collection of from $lOO,000,000 tC
$l50,OO0,GOO a year in excess Of its re-
quirements. How much longer shall
! the injustice be tolerated here?

Hot Water Remedies.

Halls Journal or Health.
There is no remedy Of such general
application, and none so easily at
tainable, as water and yet nine per-
sons out of ten will pass by it in an
emergency to seek for something of
far less efficiency. There are few
cases of illness where water should
not occupy the highest place as a
remedial agent. A strip of flannel
or napkin folded lengthwise and
dipped in hot water and 'wrung out,
and then applied around the neck Of
a child that has the Group, will usu-
ally bring relief in ten minutes. A
towel folded several times and dipped
in hot water and quickly wrung and
applied over the toothache or neural
gia will generally afford prompt re-
lief. This treatment in collie works
like magic. / have seen cases that
nave resisted all other treatment Tor
hours yield to this in ten minutes.
There is nothing that so promptly
cuts short congestion of the lungs,
sore throat or rheumatism as hot wa
ter when applied promptly and thor
oughly. Tepid water acts promptly
as an emetic, and hot water taken
freely half an hour before bedtime is
the best cathartic possible in the case
Of constipation, while it has a most
soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels. This treatment continued a
few months, with proper attention to
diet, will cure any durable case OF
dyspepsia. Headache almost always
yields to the simultaneous appIica,
ton of hot water to the feet and the
back Of the neck.

A Small but Historic Island.

The island of Malta, which has had
such an eventful history from remot-
est ages, is one of the smallest in the
Mediterranean, being but eighteen
miles in length and six or seven in
width, with an area of about 100
square miles. 1t has an uneven sur
face, with gently undulating hills, but
has no mountains, forests or streams
of water. This island would have a
most barren appearance were it not
for the few orange, fig and olive trees
that are scattered here and there
among the little villages and hamlets.
The island itself is one vast, yellow
sandstone rock, which crops out OF
the shallow soil in big patches in all
directions, leaving but a small por-
ton of its surface fit for cultivation.
What could have been the great charm
that made the island so attractive to
the ancients and to those who have
since the Christian era battled for its
possession is a mystery to all strang.
ers who visit its shores at the present
day. During the summer months
the heat was almost uncomfortable day
and night, while in autumn the I'm.
healthy sirocco winds blow over from
Africa, and in the winter it is swept
by heavy gales that combine all the
terrors of cyclones and levaners.
Valetta, its principal, and, in fact
its only city, has population of sixty
odd thousand, about half that the
island contains. Immense lines o.
fortresses, probably the largest and
most impregnable in the world, that
were built by the Knights of Malta
encircle the city and defy its capture
by other nations.

Our Familiar Sayings.

Many of our common sayings, so
true end pithy, are used without the
least idea from whose pen or mouth
they first originated. Probably the
works of Shakespeare furnish us with
more of these familiar maXims than
any other writer, for to him we owe
"All is not gold that glitters, ""Make
Il virtue of necessity" "Screw our
courage up to the sticking place, "(not

is the short and long Of it, ""Compar-
isons are odious," GAS merry as the
day is long," "A Daniel come to
Judgment" "Frailty, thy name is
woman," and a host of Others.
Washington Irving gives us "The
almighty dollar"
Thomas Murgan queried long ago,
What will Mrs. Grupdy say?"
Goldsmith answers, ASK me no
questions and III tell you no fbs,"

Compulsory Voting.

Western Plowman.
At every election a large amount
of money is pent for Legitimate"
purposes. Each party organization
must be provided with workers"
whose duties consist in bringing their
voting friends to the polls, watching
the voting on the opposite side to see
that frauds are not perpetrated and
capturing the uncertain or doubtful
ones by a timely "work" Ofthe jaws.
The expense incurred for this class of
work is considered legitimate and
proper. Certainly there is nothing
wrong in arousing apathetic voters to
sense of duty and bringing them to
the polls. Many an important cause
is lost in an election, because its advO-
Gates and friends do not poll theirfull
strength. AS arule, the more iniquit-
Gus a cause, the more industrious and
jealous will be its supporters. When
iniquity triumphs because the repre-
Sentatives of honesty do not turn out
to defend it, there is but little differ
ence in responsibility, between the
active fighters in a bad cause and the
Sinking renegades in a good one.
The apathy or cowardice Of a defend
err makes possible the victory of an
I aggreSSOr.
But how shall voters be brought
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1887-05-14

out on election day if their sense Eof
right and responsibility is not suffi-
cient motive? There is one effectual
way. Fine every man who fails to
vote. The right to cast ballot
should be made duty. In no other
way than by a full vote can the senti-
ment of the people be correctly de-
termined.
A few apathetic men should not be
allowed to jeopardize the interests of
a whole community by staying away
from the polls. Every voter should
vote, or pay round price for the
privilege of not voting.

A 5000 FIRE.


The Maiden brewery. erected in the sum

upon the arrival Of the citizens. There had
